Three local minor celebrities in a pub discuss a rather Big event coming up this Boxing Day http://bit.ly/uiCXHg

Backing for Big Coat Day has come from across the city, including workplaces, housing associations, councillors and faith groups. Notable supporters of the initiative are Bury Council, the Royal Mail, Greater Manchester Fire Service, Guinness Northern Counties Housing Association, Arco Workwear, Jobcentreplus, Housing Providers, Manchester Adult Education Service, Bury FC and Ashton United FC. The match itself, FC’s local derby v Ashton, is free for under-18s and will feature an FC brass band to foster a genuine Christmas family feel to the day.


FC United general manager Andy Walsh said: "As a community football club that seeks to make a positive difference, we are delighted to be organising Big Coat Day again this year. Thousands of people in the north west die needlessly each year as a result of the cold and by harnessing the generosity of our fans, our partners and other local people we hope to do something about this."
